Dr. Anish Kumar Vishwakarma

He has completed his Ph.D. from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, India. He created several statistical and machine learning-based models for no-reference video quality assessment. During his PostDoc at IIT Madras, he worked towards advanced analytics for combat sports using deep learning at the Centre of Excellence for Sports Analytics. His research is aimed at expanding the use of ML-based techniques for other image and video applications. The use of data science, machine learning, and deep learning in computer vision and other interdisciplinary fields is particularly appealing to him.

Before joining UPES, he was at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, held a postdoctoral researcher position at the department of applied mechanics and biomedical engineering. He has extensive experience in applying machine learning to video processing, a solid theoretical foundation in relevant statistical and machine learning concepts. He published several scientific papers in prestigious international journals.
